Title: I got right!
Post by: turkey slayer on March 26, 2011, 09:35:28 PM
Well boys I got that hard headed bird this afternoon at 4:58. I had no luck this morning, so I went and played in a softball tourney that was 1hr away from my house, we were knocked out after the first 2 games so I drove back home and pulled in the driveway at 4:20 changed clothes and rode my cart into the woods to the spot where I was getting the pics. As soon as I started into the woods he was standing about 10 yards from my camera, which is only 45 yards from the edge of the woods. I saw that head poke up as I came around a big Cypress tree, I threw my gun up and BOOM the rest is history.... heck i even got a ol blunt tail cotton mouth on my way out ofthe woods!
